KBTG has many researchers and tech developers working devotedly on deep tech with business potential and promising user benefits. The company is aware that such advanced deep-tech research will be meaningless unless applied with a \u201chuman-first\u201d goal to benefit the masses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>KBTG Chairman Ruangroj Poonpol<\/strong> said that the company in 2024 aims to drive technological development continuously with machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), and deep tech \u2013 or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/en\/26\/09\/2023\/111991\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/en\/26\/09\/2023\/111991\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">M.A.D.<\/a> in short.

Also, we will share our knowledge and direct experience to benefit business units of Kasikorn Bank, KBTG, our partners, and the country,\u201d Ruangroj said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past, KBTG was driven by the concept of being an \u201cAI-first organization\u201d to become a Thai leader in M.A.D. Regarding AI, the focus is on research through KBTG Labs and important allies like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and on application through Kasikorn Bank. Several actual products and services have been created for actual use, and many more in the pipeline are expected to launch in the market in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"448\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AI-First-Human-First-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AI-First-Human-First-4.png 800w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AI-First-Human-First-4-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AI-First-Human-First-4-768x430.png 768w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AI-First-Human-First-4-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AI-First-Human-First-4-696x390.png 696w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AI-First-Human-First-4-750x420.png 750w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">KBTG Labs innovations for businesses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deep tech research team of KBTG Labs has turned their findings into many actual products. Much of the work involves innovations beneficial to businesses, such as verification technology called \u201cAINU\u201d, \u201cCar AI\u201d damage examination system based on AI technology, and intelligent banking analysis system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; <strong>AINU: <\/strong>AI technology is used for this verification\/identification service involving an optical character reader (OCR) to extract data from ID cards. The service is aimed at preventing identity theft through the liveness detection technique and deterring potential fraud with face recognition technology. AINU, already in service, offers SDK and API technologies to digital banking customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; <strong>Car AI: <\/strong>A collaboration with Muang Thai Insurance, this system allows customers to report car accidents for insurance claims without the help of a claim official. The user can take photos of their cars involved in an accident and use Car AI to estimate the damage. KBTG won the Asian Technology Excellence Award 2023 in the category of AI \u2013 Financial Technology from the Asian Business Review, a leading business magazine in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; <strong>Intelligent banking analysis system:<\/strong> KBTGuses M.A.D. technologies and research work to create this intelligent system for banks. It is used to complement Kasikorn Bank\u2019s various products and services, including Marketing Intelligence, Credit Intelligence, Fraud Intelligence, and Call Center. The technologies used in data evaluation and analysis are worth an estimated 500 million baht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KBTG places much importance on conducting research and applying the study findings for actual benefits. The company aims to enhance the potential of M.A.D. technologies for businesses and industries by carrying out in-depth research and developing new products based on the technologies to truly meet market demand. Commercial services are provided through KX, which is open to financial partners and businesses from other industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/KBTG_AI-MAD-capabilities.jpg\" alt=\"KBTG\u00a0\u0e0a\u0e39\u0e04\u0e27\u0e32\u0e21\u0e2a\u0e32\u0e21\u0e32\u0e23\u0e16\u0e14\u0e49\u0e32\u0e19\u00a0M.A.D. \u0e19\u0e33\u0e07\u0e32\u0e19\u0e27\u0e34\u0e08\u0e31\u0e22\u0e21\u0e32\u0e1b\u0e23\u0e30\u0e22\u0e38\u0e01\u0e15\u0e4c\u0e43\u0e0a\u0e49\u0e08\u0e23\u0e34\u0e07 \u0e15\u0e31\u0e49\u0e07\u0e40\u0e1b\u0e49\u0e32\u0e02\u0e31\u0e1a\u0e40\u0e04\u0e25\u0e37\u0e48\u0e2d\u0e19\u0e2d\u0e07\u0e04\u0e4c\u0e01\u0e23\u0e2a\u0e39\u0e48\u00a0Human-First\" class=\"wp-image-119567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/KBTG_AI-MAD-capabilities.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/KBTG_AI-MAD-capabilities-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/KBTG_AI-MAD-capabilities-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/KBTG_AI-MAD-capabilities-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/KBTG_AI-MAD-capabilities-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/KBTG_AI-MAD-capabilities-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More work in the pipeline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; <strong>CCTV Analytics technology: <\/strong>Data in the form of video images from close-circuit cameras is analyzed by AI to determine the behaviors of people in the video recording. Experiments have been carried out at certain Kasikorn Bank branches to count people and observe people\u2019s movements for analysis and improvement of the branches\u2019 areas and services involving tellers at the counter or self-service by customers. This technology can be applied to any other business that requires similar analysis, such as food shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; <strong>Smart check-out technology: <\/strong>This is intended for shopping malls and supermarkets. AI is used to analyze images of goods and calculate the prices from the database. When goods are placed on the check-out counter, the camera takes their photos as AI calculates the total prices based on the database. This technology is still in the stage of \u201cproof of concept\u201d (PoC), which means the current work is focused on determining whether the idea can be turned into a reality. More study and development are needed before it can be marketed. The current work still cannot differentiate between goods in cans of different sizes, as the camera \u201csees\u201d that containers with a round lid are of the same size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; <strong>Wealth management technology: <\/strong>Machine learning AI is used to provide advice on stocks and funds to customers. This work is still in the development stage at KBTG Labs, using information on customers, stocks and funds from 8-10 years ago. Formulas for investment and portfolio management are applied in the calculation to get investment advice for customers. Macroeconomic data and current news will also be used to train the AI. This service is expected to be available by late 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; <strong>Thai NLP: <\/strong>A chatbot called \u201cNong Ruang Khao\u201d is created with generative AI. Its advantage is that generative AI allows the chatbot to respond to user questions better than the current version employed by K Bank Live, which often gives long, uniform answers. \u201cNong Ruang Khao\u201d can chat with customers more naturally as if they were talking with humans, making it more likely for customers to prefer interaction with the chatbot rather than phoning the Call Center. \u201cNong Ruang Khao\u201d can offer general advice involving financial matters, credit cards, and basic loan evaluations, among others. The chatbot is still in the development stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; <strong>VDO Analytics system: <\/strong>AI is used to analyze video recordings and provide such information as how many people are involved in the video, who said what, what kind of feeling each speaker had, and whether there was any expletive in their conversation. The recorded conversation is transcribed, and each sentence is analyzed to determine the sentiment of what was said in the video. This system is not available commercially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">International quality recognition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The quality of KBTG\u2019s research work on M.A.D. is recognized internationally, as KBTG Labs has a large group of AI researchers and developers. They are among the largest groups in Thailand working on various areas, including facial recognition, computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and deep learning. The research is carried out by the company\u2019s researchers and developers to ensure quality for future commercial use by Kasikorn Bank, KBTG, and their business allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2023, KBTG Labs had its research studies on M.A.D. published in six international publications. Also, it sponsored a research project of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/en\/12\/07\/2022\/70514\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/en\/12\/07\/2022\/70514\/\">KBTG fellow Pat Pataranutaporn<\/a>, the first Thai doctorate candidate at MIT Media Lab, a research laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The topic of his research is \u201cInfluencing human-AI interaction by priming beliefs about AI can increase perceived trustworthiness, empathy and effectiveness\u201d, which was published in Nature Machine Intelligence, a scientific journal covering machine learning and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"447\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AI-First-Human-First-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AI-First-Human-First-3.png 800w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AI-First-Human-First-3-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AI-First-Human-First-3-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AI-First-Human-First-3-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AI-First-Human-First-3-696x389.png 696w, https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/AI-First-Human-First-3-752x420.png 752w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">KBTG Labs collaborates with MIT Media Lab<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KBTG Labs has<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/en\/27\/12\/2022\/86387\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.thestorythailand.com\/en\/27\/12\/2022\/86387\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> joined hands with MIT Media Lab<\/a>, a world-class research institute, exploring new technologies.

KBTG is aware that venture building alone is not enough, so it invests to help expand the potential of development, both in terms of quantity and quality. That led to the formation of the KXVC fund with an initial investment of about 15 million US dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2024, KXVC is prepared to go full steam for investment in AI startups and funds around the world, serving as a gateway to bring new AI technologies and overseas investments into Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">KBTG is ready to work with its partners in Thailand and other countries to improve M.A.D. capabilities and turn its research work into products for the masses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All those works and plans confirm KBTG\u2019s ambition to become an M.A.D. leader in Thailand, which is part of its strategy to be an AI-first company that uses deep tech to create human-first services
